The 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards was officially kicked off with a performance by Justin Bieber. The Canadian superstar, who on early Sunday, April 3 debuted his new dreadlocks, took the stage to play an acoustic rendition of "Love Yourself" before launching into a more upbeat version of "Company" joined by backup dancers.
Rocking a loose-fitting red jacket, he danced with a fan at one point during the performance. Unfortunately, his ex Selena Gomez, who was seated at a table with her BFF Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris, appeared to miss Bieber's performance. When the cameras cut to Swift's table, Gomez wasn't there and she just arrived after the "Where Are U Now" wrapped up his performance.
Delivering one of the best performances vocally that night was Demi Lovato. Brad Paisley made a special appearance to accompany her on a guitar as she belted out her ballad "Stone Cold". The 23-year-old beauty, who hit the red carpet in a black-and-white pantsuit earlier that night, traded the outfit for a black short dress.
ICYMI: Quite possibly the performance of the night so far by @ddlovato & @BradPaisley #iHeartAwardshttps://t.co/NjaS0ezkRZ
